VALUABLE DOGS DYING.
Black Tongue Prevalent In South
Carolina and Other States.
Washington, December 21:?The
disease known as black tongue,which
is apparently peculiar to the Southern
States, results in a heavy mortality
among dogs in that section.
Many valuable hunting dogs have
been lost from this cause. Recent
reports indicate its occurrence in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, and the
District of Columbia,
As the name indicates, there is an
inflamed and swollen condition of
the tongue, which may assume a
dark color. Such inflammation is
not confined to the tongue, but may
involve the membranes of the
mouth generally, and extend to the
throat, causing great difficulty in
swallowing. In fact, usually the
first symptoms observed by owners
of affected dogs are the profuse
flow of saliva from the mouth, disinclination
to masticate food, and
difficulty in swallowing. The breath
becomes offensive, the animal is
more or less feverish, and as the
disease progresses, he becomes
greatly prostrated, this condition of
weakness being aggravated through
inability of the dog to take nourishment.
Various investigators have considered
the disease identical with
the so-called typhus of dogs as occurring
in Europe; others have at
tributed it to the eating of putrid
carcasses in the field, believing that
infection takes place through wounds
in the mouth from eating bones
with sharp points. As the germ of
necrosis has been found in the mouth
in certain of cases these cases, it has
been assumed by some that it may
be a necrotic condition. At least
one investigator, who has studied
the trouble, is of the opinion that it
may be a result of infestation with
hookworms, and is reported to have
been successful in the treatment of
black tongue by the administration
of full doses of thymol, followed by
a purgative dose of epsom salts.
The true nature of black tongue,
however, has never been determined,
and further research will be
necessary to establish its cause.
In a majority of cases the disease
terminates in death, and treatment
appears to be of little avail except
when applied in the very early
stages.
Various methods of treatment
have been employed. According to
specialists of the United States Department
of Agriculture, it appears
that the best results are obtained by
the prompt use of disinfectants in
the mouth of the affected animal
before the disease has advanced to
any appreciable extent. For this
purpose one ounce of "alkaline antiseptic."
which is listed in the
National Formulary of the American
Pharmaceutical association, and
can be procured from a druggist,
may be added to two ounces of distilled
water, the resulting mixture
to be sprayed into the mouth with
a small syringe.
Washing of the mouth with a solution
of potassium permanganate,
1 part to 500 parts of water, three
times daily may also prove beneficial,
An offensive diarrhoea is frequently
associated with the disease, and
to relieve this condition it is advisable
to administer 5-grain doses of
salol 4 times daily, or zinc-sulphocarbolate
in doses of from 5 to 20
grains several times daily.
If tne dog is unable to eat, a mixture
of egg and milk should be given
at least twice daily, by pouring it
into the animal's mouth.
In view of the possible infectious
nature of the disease, prompt removal
of an affected dog from other
canines and a careful and frequent
disinfection of the kennels is recommended.
Methods of disinfection
are described in Farmers' Bulletin
480, "Practical Methods of Disinfecting
Stables." This bulletin can
be obtained free of charge by applying
to the editor and chief, division
of publications, United States
Department of Agriculture.
A Florida veterinarian, experienced
in treating this disease, believes
that 10 drops of nitro-muriatic
acid added to one-half pint of water,
and given as the exclusive water
-.-drink of dogs, tends to prevent the
. affection and also has some value as
a curative agent. As the acid has
. some disinfecting properties, and
acts as an aid to digestion, it is not
improbable that its use as suggested
may be an advantage in dog kennels
in areas where black tongue is
. prevalent.
Serums, including diphtheria antitoxin,
'have been administered in
cases of this disease, but without
^hfactory results, and until some
causative germ is discovered or tne
true nature of the disease is understood
there can be no reliance upon
preventive or curative agents of this
kind.
The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head
Because of its tonic and laxative effect, LAXATIVE
BROMO QUININE is better than ordinary
Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor
ringing in bead. Remember the full name and 1

REV HAROLD THOMAS ILL.
Has Nervous Breakdown While
Holding Mission at Columbia.
Florence, December 21: ? Rev
Harold Thomas, who has been for
the past two weeks conducting missions
in the State, has been required
to give up his work ard return
home. He suffered a nervous breakdown
while preaching in Columbia,
and the physicians required him to
cease work at once and come home,
where he is resting as quietly as
-*11 Uotrmr* knnn
IJUSS1U1?, ail cuiupaujr no* iu^ nv
forbidden. Mr Thomas is one of
the hardest workers in the diocese
and he has had a great deal to contend
with recently and has been
working very hard in spite of protests
of friend and congregation.
He will be required to rest now
until fully able to resume his work.
The best basis of credit at last is
the genuine old simon-pure honesty.
No matter how much money a man
may have, it is not safe to credit
him if he is not an honest man.
Plant Wheat and Oats.
Clarendon county made only a
third of a corn crop this year. That
is startling, we think, and particularly
because it will strike deep at
the poor man this next season. Our
authority for that estimate is Mr W
P Legg, one of the most conservative
men in the county. Mr Legg,
in turn, has been so advised by well
informed farmers throughout the
county. There is but one thing to
do, and that is to plant wheat and
oats in order to have early remedy
for food shortage.
We need not say that our mer
chants and bankers will look into
this, for that goes without ssying.
It is not a money crop which we
need just now, but the quickest food
crops that can be made. We are
not an alarmist. This condition
calls for speedy relief, and relief
can only be had by facing the situation
with our eyes open.?Manning

WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May Be Investigated Testimony
of Kiogstree Citizens.
When a Kingstree citizen comes
to the front, telling his friends and
nMi'ofhhors r?f his pxnerience. vou can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such testimony
is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
of a Kingstree resident. Nostronger
proof of merit can be had.
S A Nettles, ex-hotel proprietor,
Mill St, Kingstree. says: "Several
years ago I hurt my back, lifting a
heavy piece of iron pipe. After that
my kidneys acted irregularly, and
ray back was so sore and lame I could
hardly stoop. The kidney secretions
passed too freely at times,and again
scanty. The least cold I got, settled
on my kidneys and made me worse.
When a friend recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills I used them as directed
and they relieved all symptoms of
kidney trouble."

simply ask for a kidney remedy?get

Does using the law on a real rascal
ever do very much good? It takes
thunder and lightning to make some
rascals shell out.
Never mortgage the farm to buy
an automobile. No matter how
much you want to go, there are
other things besides Fords that can
pick you up. Yes, be content to rest
the remainder of your life in the
lunatic asylum for speed craziness
because you couldn't do it, rather
than mortgage your little farm for
a "btizz-wacron."

Assist Your
Stomach
To Qet Rid of the Poisonous
Gases and Fermenting Food.
A good long fast will do thts
sometimes. A trip to the mountains.
Tramping. Roughing It
Yes, very good remedies.
But are you going to avail
yourself of either one of thesd
remedies. No? Then the next
best thing is to try a bottle of
Peruna. Take It according to di- ,
rections. You will have a natural
appetite. All gas and fermentation
in the stomach will disappear.
Read what Mrs. Emma Bell,
Box 204, Fort Pierce, Florida,
says: "I was taken suddenly
with swelling of the stomach and
bowels, and great distress. Very
painful. Three doctors gave me
no relief. Could not eat anything.
Everything soured. I
was starving to death. I began
taking Peruna and was soon
strong enough to do work. After
taking five bottles I can truthfully
say I am well. I gained
twenty pounds."
Kershaw Sheriff Reinstated.
Columbia, December 20:?Declaring
that the Governor has no power
to remove or suspend a Sheriff, the
supreme court tonight reinstated W
W Huckabee to the office of Sheriff
of Kershaw county, from which he
was suspended several months ago
by Governor Manning for alleged
failure to enforce the prohibition
laws. The decision of the court,
which was written by Associate Justice
Hydrick, was unanimous. The
court declares that the statute under
which the Governor suspended
Sheriff Huckabee and named Isaac C
Hough as his successor is unconstitutional.
